Your area must have been better off, where you were.”

I can’t really say,but I do remember the rationing,of almost everything,not just meat-—and the air raid drills,in school, and during the night at home,are seared into my mind. I hated the blackouts and the air raid warden prowling the street looking for cracks of light during the drills..

We are all so lucky today.

May-pop tires and tire’tube patches were the rage?
By the way, My Grandmother, of German parents, Pa; only wore White dresses. After the war she was able to get War Surplus Parachutes and until her death she made her dresses, out them.
